The US-based Ebru TV has hosted a live telethon to collect donations to help relief and rebuilding efforts after a deadly earthquake that hit eastern Turkish province of Van last month.

The telethon, aired on Thursday, created an outpouring of support from big-hearted American public who helped raise almost $800,000 in pledges for the victims of the devastating earthquake.

Donations have been collected on behalf of Helping Hands Relief Foundation during the telethon hosted by EBRU TV, based in South Jersey.
